Re: 1957 Chevy 3100, meet 1994 Dodge Ram 1500

Alrighty! Ethyl is now highway legal with insurance. I've taken her out and about a few times as the shakedown continues. So far, the only issue I have seen might be a failing alternator. My voltmeter shows 9v at idle and up until the other day, would jump right to 13v under throttle. Then half way through a 26 mile drive, it started reading 12v while driving in town and would oscillate between 12v and 15v at highway speed. Regardless, my fan and lights didn't seem to be affected.

I did put together a few videos as well. The extra hours I am working have been doing well at paying for the things she needs, like sound deadening. I picked up a box of Kilmat last week and installed almost all of it in the cab the past two days. The improvement is amazing. I still have to order another box to finish out the floor and firewall, but the effort has been worth it.
